I was able to find the long discontinued yarn I needed to finish this shawl by asking around on Ravelry! It's huge, but since it's a wool/cotton blend, it's actually pretty lightweight. Pattern is Satie by Dee O'Keefe Designs #knitting #satieshawl 🧶

We needed another shelf support peg, so of course I just 3D printed one. There was already a model the right size, so I didn't even have to model it myself. 20 minutes using PETG at 100% infill for strength and we are back in business. #3dprinting #functionalprint

Late night finish of block 8 of the #GreenhouseBOM by @wholecirclestudio.bsky.social I could not get that center seam to line up correctly on the dark green part no matter what I did. I figure it will quilt out just fine and no one will notice. #quilting #greenhousegardenquilt

In the spirit of Use The Nice Fabric, I am also going to Use The Nice Yarn. I spent time winding all of my hanks into balls so there is one fewer barrier. Instead of having to get out the swift & winder, I can just grab & go. I have a lot more nice yarn than I thought. 😂 #knitting #crochet #yarn 🧶
